Results from supernova kick simulations. The left-hand panel shows the probability that the post-supernova binary remains bound as a function of kick velocity. These probabilities were computed with isotropic kicks for a range of pre-supernova primary masses for a helium-star progenitor of 2.4 and 4 M and direct supernova explosions of 8, 10, and 12 M progenitors as well as pre-supernova orbital periods of 1000, 4000, and 16 000 d. The right-hand panel shows the resulting post-supernova orbital period Pb, fin and eccentricity for a range of pre-supernova masses and orbital periods. The dash-dotted vertical lines indicate the pre-supernova orbital periods with the wedges the resulting post-supernova parameters. The orbital constraints for PSR J0210+5845 are shown in black with error bars.
